Play Next Video Automatically

[Dracrius]

Any chance it would be possible to prevent the script from undimming the lights at the end of a video when "Play next video automatically" is enabled under Settings - Video - Playback. Currently at least on the v16 branch at the end of the first video the lights will begin to brighten up and then immediately dim back to off when using theater mode. I hope you don't mind me inquiring about the old branch it's just that I use a custom modded theme I don't feel like rebuilding from scratch for Kodi 17! If this is only fixed or will only be fixed in the current branch let me know and I'll consider fighting to upgrade all my machines to 17 it's just I have quite the setup all perfect already, why fix something that's not broken haha.

I believe this works on master, will recheck.

I was digging around and found your post on the reorganization of the branches and there you did state the intention of keeping v16 alive and upto date at least until v18. If you have found a fix would you mind adding it to the v16 branch as the master branch isn't v16 compatible anymore. Although the only thing that seems to be stopping master from working on v16 is that the 3 "Setup ...Group" settings stay grayed out everything else including discovery seems to work but I'm assuming with out the groups setup nothing can be expected to changes during playback as is the case atm.

I would love to have current master compatible v16, but the reason why some of the stuff is greyed out/not working is that Kodi is changing it's add-on APIs with each release. The current group selection UI uses dialog that was introduced in v16 but only gained some features (like pre-selecting fields) in v17. Similar with screen grabbing. I can't really keep v16, v17 and master on par now (due to the amount of changes on master lately), that doesn't mean v16 will be ignored - it's just lower priority.
